In de USA, that should be.
Death and violence is not so popular on TV in other places in the
world.


What? The same programming can be viewed anywhere in the world.

Less and less. Surely, 25 years ago we had all those USA shows on
TV here. Now, not so much.

Hollywood doesn't give a damn about teaching gun safety.

Terrelll spouts bullshit about others all the time.

That's
why they want to destroy the NRA.

More Trumpesque bullshit.

The NRA was created to ensure
the Second Amendment rights of the slaves who were freed after the
American Civil War.

Bullshit. The NRA was founded to promote firearm accuracy. They
teach firearm safety and competency. Since 1975, however, they have
been a political puppet set against the legislators in the US wanting
to refine the 2nd amendment to better manage those NOT allowed to
have a firearm. We simply want "crazy" added to the only current "no
felons" standard. The NRA are a bunch of assholes. The members of
the NRA are not, except for the jokers like you who have a bent
perspective on everything bellering bullshit like an elephant.

Without guns, they were at the mercy of the
Democrats KKK.

Like I said... You could not be more full of shit.
Too much of a pussy to argure over it too.

Good job, Terrell, of being a man... NOT!!!

They sell a lot of that material to Americans so it's almost like they

There are so many British murder mysteries, I'm surprised there are
any people left over there.

The consistently excellent Radio 4 programme "More or Less"
examines all sorts of claims where the proper application
of statistics will illuminate the extent to which the claim
is and is not valid.

Hence, "A listener to Radio 4’s More or Less (Friday 4:30pm)
recently (2012) wrote to the programme asking whether the murder
rate in Midsomer Murders was out of the ordinary."

The answer(s) were entertaining, and included comparisons
with the real world.

https://www.radiotimes.com/news/2012-08-03/from-midsomer-to-cabot-cove-tvs-murder-capitals/

No, I'm not going to spoil the numbers by summarising
them poorly

Father Brown and Hercule Poirot are death machines. Anywhere they go,
people are murdered.

That's not the right way to look at them. They are more like cancer specialists - if a murder happens they get sucked in, in the same way that cancer specialists get surrounded by people dying of cancer (as well as a bunch who get cured).

I suspect that the NRA pays for quite a lot of the advertising it gets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_placement

Hollywood collects as much money as it can from people wanting to advertise whatever it is they sell.

> Art reflects society and vice versa.

Society does shape the art that gets created. Artists who starve in garrets don't produce as much as people who get enough to eat, and if you have to take time out to cook your own food and clean your own house, that still eats into the time you spend creating new art.

> Like a feedback loop, you can't really call it a cause and effect, but it is part of the circle.

The thing about art is that it has to be - to some extent - unpredictable, so it is a cause rather than an effect. Which artistic creations turn out to be popular enough for people to spend all their time creating them does reflect the tastes and inclinations of the society that supports them while they do it.

about sadism, violence, crime, and especially guns.


Shakespeare wasn't exactly all Kumbaya and people loving each other,
either and his works are now considered one of the heights of the
literature canon of Western civilization.

I like the comedies. 12th Night, Much Ado About Nothing, like that.

A TV set can be good once in a while, as long as you don't watch "TV".


There are some actors who are or were big into guns and martial arts
in their personal lives, too. Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris, etc.

Problem is the actors whose real life beliefs about firearms and
violence are congruent with their on-screen behavior tend to be
terrible actors.

It's finally easier to train a liberal-pacifist actor to look like a
bad-ass firing guns on screen doing something they'd never normally be
into than it is to train a Steven Seagal or Chuck Norris how to act.
That's actors job, though. They play roles and characters that they
aren't.

Bad actors like Steven Seagal and Ronald Reagan tend to end up
confused about where their role starts and "they" begin.

Canonical examples of that from an earlier era:
John Wayne and Charlton Heston.

An exception to the rule was Clint Eastwood who tended to be pretty good
at the (rather limited) range of roles he took.

In Gran Torino back in 2008 he was almost playing a caricature of
himself as a habitually ticked-off grumpy geriatric right-winger.

The Outlaw Josey Wales was almost a parody of the spaghetti westerns.
He starts out the meanest, most invincible hombre on earth, and
gradually picks up a bunch of old ladies, retired Indians, and dogs.
And he does get shot.

About time. In High Plains Drifter, he was literally immortal.

Lol! That's a joke!!! British TV I know is very violent. I can't say they have more or less of it, but they can be very graphic with it. I've never seen anyone get their face shoved into a deep fryer on US TV. Same with many violent scenes, the British equivalent is much more graphic.

US violence is often nearly make believe with people falling dead, but no blood, etc. Hardly produces much impact.

We have less of it, but it is, arguably, more realistic.

I've never seen a final scene containing "I've been on
to the hospital and the doctors say he'll be All Right"

Another, very visceral, illustration was the difference
between two contemporary depictions of the aftermath of
nuclear war.

US: "The Day After", where after a couple of /days/ the
cavalry was seen on the horizon.

UK: "Threads", which depicted the decline over months,
and the final scene 13 years later was a 14yo mother
looking at her newborn, and screaming.

habitually do stuff like try to mail someone a pipe bomb in an old box

The somewhat brighter yet still criminally-minded thankfully also tend
to be really gullible because they see that they are undeniably smarter

genius; the type of genius who "knows the law", who knows for a fact
that if you ask an undercover police officer "are you a cop" they _must_
tell you truthfully.

Bullshit. I parked net to one recently, at a Walmart. I asked him but he wouldn't answer. I pointed out several items about him and his vehicle, then I informed him that I serviced radios for some police and fire departments, so it was easy for me to spot their unmarked vehicles.

That hardly defines Hollywood and the movie industry. They make lots
of movies about a lot of things and many of them are period accurate,
many are fiction. Do you read a novel and think everything in the book
is true, and you should adjust your behavior to match the book? No.
Why then do the bent bent dipshits in society claim that films modify
behavior?

They do not shape society, they reflect current society.

They even help us to point out the crybaby types with a bent
perspective on society, like you.

In your next post, you can ramble on again about how our space
